Use batch file to show notifications

We recently installed SEPM 11 MR4 and are on the verge of going to production.

 

We would like to create SNMP traps in our monitoring system using a batch file, so we need to run a batch file when certain events occur (new risks, system info e.g.). SEPM has the possibility to run a batch file but how do i pass on additional information (source computer, event type e.g.) into my batch script?

Hi: This is an old post

Hi: This is an old post but..
If you specify a batch file to run it's actually passed that information. I've actually talked to Symantec and they told me nothing was passed but I wrote a batch file below that indeed had the info displayed below in it:

@echo on
rem * ****************************************************************************
rem * *  datatest.bat - simple script to see what was passed to us               *
rem * ****************************************************************************
echo - %date% %time% We have been called! >> c:\temp\datatest.txt
echo We received %*  >> c:\temp\datatest.txt
echo The tokens passed were - [%1] [%2] [%3] [%4] [%5] [%6] [%7] [%8] [%9] >> c:\temp\datatest.txt

Here is the result of the batch file text file after an eicar test:

- Wed 12/23/2009 12:55:41.59 We have been called!
We received "<Risk Name='EICAR Test String' File Path='C:\Stage\trigger.com' EventDateTime='2009-12-23 18:04:14 GMT' EventInsertTime='2009-12-23 18:10:10 GMT' User='johnnyb' Computer='COMPUTERNAME' IPAddress='IPADDRESS' Domain='Default' Server='CDV-SEPDEV' ClientGroup='My Company\DESKTOPS' ActualAction='19' />"  
The tokens passed were - ["<Risk Name='EICAR Test String' File Path='C:\Stage\trigger.com' EventDateTime='2009-12-23 18:04:14 GMT' EventInsertTime='2009-12-23 18:10:10 GMT' User='johnnyb' Computer='COMPUTERNAME' IPAddress='IPADDRESSS' Domain='Default' Server='CDV-SEPDEV' ClientGroup='My Company\DESKTOPS' ActualAction='19' />"] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] []
